Spartanburg Homes for Sale and Real Estate

Area Description

There’s only one Spartanburg, as local leaders proudly point out. There is no city or county or place by that name anywhere else. Known for Revolutionary War battles and rich history in textiles and agriculture, Spartanburg is now home to a new age of industry as well as one of the first Downtown Cultural Districts in South Carolina. It’s the seat of the county that bears the same name, home to BMW’s U.S. manufacturing center, its Zentrum museum and performance driving school, the Chapman Cultural Center, several liquor distilleries and award-winning breweries, and plentiful options for outdoor recreation. South Carolina’s first AC Hotel by Marriott, a 10-story building at the corner of West Main Street and South Daniel Morgan Avenue that will change the downtown skyline, is slated to open in 2017
